I think that a lot of the criticism heaped upon Tracy last year was unavoidable because the team was flawed as it left Salt River Fields in 2012. (To be pinning any hopes at all on Nicasio- just coming off a life threatening injury, or putting any faith at all on a creaky Moyer was ill-advised at best and downright foolish at worst.) Too often, criticism (such as the examples you cited) is too &quot;results-based.&quot; I don&#39;t believe that &quot;results-based&quot; criticism is valid. That&#39;s like criticizing Weiss for having Dexter lead off any time he fails to reach base in the game&#39;s first at bat. In the &quot;pulling Belisle after just one pitch&quot; instance: it&#39;s fair and legit criticism if they want to question Walt&#39;s &quot;LaRussa-Duncan system&quot; of MLB pitching staffs. It&#39;s not legit to criticize one outing of one pitcher in the first game of the season.<br />If there was one thing which shipwrecked the Rockies&#39; chances last year, it was injuries to key players and pitchers. Many of those injuries were injuries resulting from overuse and fatigue. Basically, it&#39;s been proven that Tulo isn&#39;t a particularly durable athlete because he plays so hard all the time. He&#39;s particularly susceptible to overuse-style strains, sprains and muscle pulls when his body gets worn down. I commend Weiss for his program to keep Tulo from wearing down. MLB baseball isn&#39;t just a marathon, it&#39;s a marathon of short sprints, so the risk of overuse injuries is definitely a factor. Weiss&#39; method is designed to keep both Tulo and the rest of the team in the race all season. Helton (obviously), Cuddyer, Fowler and Rosario are other guys like this who could wear down this way. <br />Back in the mid &#39;90s, I remember Atlanta coming to town and putting Maddox, Glavine and Smoltz on the bump in a three game weekend set. Not one of those guys got out of the 3rd inning and although the Rox didn&#39;t win all of those games, it was obvious that the Braves hated to come here. I distinctly remember Glavine whining because he wasn&#39;t getting the &quot;one foot outside&quot; strike. Weiss, Bichette and Castilla were on that Rockies team that bludgeoned the best pitching staff in the business. Maybe they can work their magic again.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969572709836208987.post-72803563141962789722013-04-18T01:02:06.486-06:002013-04-18T01:02:06.486-06:00For most recent information you have to pay a visi...For most recent information you have to pay a visit world wide web and on web I found this web page as a most excellent web site for hottest updates.<br /><br /><br />Here is my webpage - <a href="http://dentalhygienistassistant.org/dental-hygiene-schools/" rel="nofollow">dentalhygienistassistant.org</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
